I would like to say thank you for all the help and insight you guys have providing, helping me decide on my next tow vehicle. We have bought a 2002 Chevy Silverado 2500HD with the 6.0L. It is an awesome truck. It has minimal rust and looked really clean. We traveled 3hrs away to pick it up from a dealership and while the long trip was not desirable I do appreciate the long trip home driving our new truck, becoming familiar with it along the way. It drove incredibly smooth for a truck as big as it is. I was blown away. The dealership that sold it to us was familiar with all the owners as well which was nice. The owner before us only owned it for 4,000 miles but in that time replaced all the suspension, exhaust and had a goose neck mount put into the bed. The dealership said that he had wanted to use it to tow but decided on getting a diesel after only having it for a year. It is ready to go. It even has a nice brake controller installed. We are really excited about getting out and using it. For a high mileage as it is, it still gets "good" gas mileage. On my trip home with it, it managed 15mpg which really surprised me. So again, I want to say thank you for all your help. Real life experience and knowledge is invaluable to me when decide things like this.
